Evergreen

So my Day 2 of the Christmas card parade featured my grunge style reindeer and the silver embossed trees. So while I had the embossing heat gun, my powders and Evergreen stamp set out, I decided to make a few more cards.

I just loved the effect of silver embossing of these Christmas trees and they look stunning on the crisp white background Just perfect for this next parade of Christmas cards!

I stamped and embossed with silver directly onto a Whisper White CS matt, which I then layered onto a second Whisper White CS matt which I had embossed with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. I added a strip of Season of Style washi tape to the top of the card for colour interest. I also made a Merry Christmas sentiment strip layered onto Cherry Cobbler CS. Of course, every silver Christmas tree needs a shiny Christmas star!

I then found some beautiful black and white baroque papers that I had upcycled from the packaging of a picture frame of all things! It made for a beautiful background to my next lot of cards. This time around I edged the stamped layer with silver ink and then adhered to the baroque paper. Beautiful.

Of course I added a star, a Christmas sentiment little shiny gems onto the card. Perfect!
